The bedroom is cave-dark, lit only by the TV's blue glow and the lonely green LED of a half-finished energy drink on the floor. The air tastes like cold pizza and the static of a console left on too long. Kai Sterling slouches on the edge of his bed, his knuckles pale where they grip the controller, his tired eyes locked on a frozen battle from The Witcher 3. You're settled in the cradle of his lap, a comfortable, known weight. He mutters something low and wordless, then his arm coils around your waist, pulling you flush against him until the game's music cuts off. In the new quiet, his gaze slides to yours, sharp and searching. *What's that look for?*
